Aspects of the turbulent rule of Richard II freshly examined. The
reign of Richard II is well known for its political turmoil as well
as its literary and artistic innovations, all areas explored by
Professor Nigel Saul during his distinguished career. The present
volume interrogates many familiar literary and narrative sources,
including works by Froissart, Gower, Chaucer, Clanvow, and the
Continuation of the Eulogium Historiarum, along with those less
well-known, such as coroner's inquests and gaol delivery
proceedings. The reign is also notorious for its larger than life
personalities - not least Richard himself. But how was he shaped by
other personalities? A prosopographical study of Richard's bishops,
a comparison of the literary biographies of his father the Black
Prince, and Bertrand du Guesclin, and a reconsideration of
Plantagenet family politics, all shed light on this question.
Meanwhile, Richard II's tomb reflects his desire to shape a new
vision of kingship. Commemoration more broadly was changing in the
late fourteenth century, and this volume includes several studies
of both individual and communal memorials of various types that
illustrate this trend: again, appropriately for an area Professor
Saul has made his own. Contributors: Mark Arvanigian, Caroline
Barron, Michael Bennett, Jerome Bertram, David Carpenter, Chris
Given-Wilson, Jill Havens, Claire Kennan, Hannes Kleineke, John

Fourteenth Century England has quickly established for itself a
deserved reputation for its scope and scholarship and for admirably
filling a gap in the publication of medieval studies. HISTORY The
new research here covers a number of aspects of the politics and
culture of fourteenth-century England, including religious culture
and institutions as illustrated in the cult of Thomas of Lancaster,
preaching to women in thelater fourteenth century, and in the
Church's response to a royal fundraising campaign. There are
detailed examinations of prominent and less prominent individuals -
Bishop Thomas Hatfield, Agnes Maltravers, and Lord Thomas Despenser
- together with investigations of broader policy issues,
particularly the dispensation of justice in the reign of Richard
II. Finally, the intersection of environmental, political, and
economic issues is approached from two very different perspectives,
the development of royal landscapes and of the late medieval coal
industry. Contributors: JOHN T. MCQUILLEN, AMANDA RICHARDSON, A. K.
